Actually, this is firewall-wizards' first FTP rant of the new millenium. :)
...and done with such style, too!!

It would be a fine sign of progress if vendors stopped shipping FTP
and replaced it with scp/ssh. Someone ought to write a version of scp
that has exactly the same interface as FTP (but none of the network
protocol) and then we could invisibly swap it out and have done with
this most horrible bodge of a protocol...
